What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Georgia
I wrote a check to someone for mowing my grass. He came back the next day and told me he lost the check. I told him that I wasn't going to pay him until I stopped payment on the check. I stopped payment the next day and gave him the cash. A month later I received a letter by certified mail, he cashed the chech at a check cashing place and now they say I'm responsible to pay them the amount of the check plus a $35 fee. Does anyone know if this is correct? It doesn't seem right that I'm responsible to the check cashing place as I didn't write them the check.

If you stopped payment on the check then you shouldn't be responsible to some check cashing place, or any business that cashed that check.

Contact your bank and let them know what happened. Make sure the payment was, in fact, stopped and find out from them if there is anything they can do to help out.
